  I’ve searched all over to find the instructions and location in the Admin Panels for how to turn off that annoying screen that comes up after publishing a post. I want my students to stay on the post after publishing not jump through hoops.

  It used to be here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/personal-settings/

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I tagged this for Staff because the last time I tried to find the instant feedback did not work and I still don’t know where the setting is. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-disable-instant-post-feedback?replies=12

  I found the Instant Feedback setting under My Account. Click on your name in the top right corner, then click on your name again in the drop down.

  The box to turn off Instant Feedback is about 2/3 down the page, just above Goals. (Don’t forget to click Save.)

  Hope that’s what you were asking about. I somehow turned it off, and had been looking for it again too.

  @ifmomsaysokay, you are a rock star! Way too complicated.

  STAFF: Please update the support docs for publishing posts and others to help others know how to stop this thing from appearing when they post. I looked for over 30 minutes and had several students hunting and they couldn’t find the info. If we missed it, please show me the link so I can put it in my WordPress class notes. Thanks!!!!!!!

  Hi Lorelle,

  Thanks for the feedback. We’re working on a new support doc that explains the Account Settings (including the Instant Post Feedback setting), and we’ll be sure to link to that information from the doc about publishing a new post. :)

  Hi
  I found the right place to change the setting easily enough, the trouble is it won’t stay disabled. I’m not alone in this as I’ve just read a thread (‘How to disable instant post feedback’ – now closed) from someone who had the same problem in Jan 2014.
  I uncheck the box, save the settings, the box is unchecked. Next time I post, the sidebar comes up again and back on the Account Settings page the Instant Feedback box is checked.
  Thanks

  Hi @sadiewb

  I am going to have our engineering team take a closer look here, and I will update you when I know more.

  Thanks for your patience. :)
